Real Madrid fans attack Gareth Bale’s car after defeat to Barcelona

Gareth Bale's car was attacked by angry Real Madrid supporters following their El Clasico defeat by Barcelona on Sunday night.

The world's most expensive footballer was confronted by fans as he left the club's Valdebebas training base after the 2-1 loss that saw Barcelona move four points clear of their rivals.As Bale pulled away, one angry fan struck the £86million signing's white Bentley with his hands and feet, while his Madrid team-mates Jese and Sergio Ramos were also targeted.Spanish newspaper AS refused to give Bale a mark in their ratings for the Barca defeat, while Marca wrote: 'It's obvious [president Florentino] Perez has paid €100m for someone worth €20m.' Bale was unlucky not to score at the Nou Camp in front of an estimated 400 million watchers on television as his first-half goal was ruled out for Cristiano Ronaldo being offside.The Wales international, despite helping Madrid win the Copa del Rey and Champions League by scoring in both finals, has found life difficult in Spain this year.
